- Just going to stick with my old flip phone. I don't text and I don't get a cell signal at home (no sales calls) anyway and don't feel like buying a booster that might not work to get a signal . *NM*
- I had a MOTO flip that was great. It was tough as nails. AT&T turned it off and said I had to go 'smart'. ugh *NM*
- I had a reliable flip phone for a long time, it was also a company phone. But anyway, I've never had to own a cell phone. They supply them for business for free from work, but I use it as a personal phone too. I just can't install apps on it but I don't care about that. *NM*

- Wonder if NASCAR will move an Xfinity race to Mexico City, since Fontana won't be available next year maybe even a Cup race or at least move the Clash instead of that Colosseum circle j-oke as a get out of jail card? *NM*
- Mexico is off limits to most Corp's due to being so instable...... *NM*
- So Wayne, you didn't like the "concert" with a "race" stuck in the middle of it? (It was pretty awful. Thank God for DVR where I could fast-forward thru all that junk.) *NM*
- Although I tried to ignore the musical segments, I thought the race was a fun change of pace from the other tracks. I'm just a casual NASCAR watcher, though. *NM*
- What the website to look for a missing instructor sheet for a Texaco gas station *NM*

- Wow. Thanks for that as I was an avid MCS reader. *NM*
- Re: Thanks for posting *NM*
- CAR MODEL 1962-73 is there too, but "limited viewing"? *NM* *LINK*
- There is also other automotive magazines and manuals there. Use their search engine. *NM*
- I logged in with google and full mag was available.......but not download. *NM*
- Some documents on the Internet Archive are available only via short-term "borrowing". Those are often newer publications that might fall outside of the realm of public domain. *NM* *LINK*
- There is also this site with ALL the covers, also for LOTS of others magazines: *NM* *LINK*
- Wow! What a history lesson. Especially the slot cars. Brings back lots of fond memories. *NM*
- For Mopar lovers. Ya or Nay? *LINK*
- Big Bada Boom... *PICS*
- Boy can't wait... One of my favorite movies, when it's on I watch it. *NM*
- That's very nice. I love that movie. Where is the split in the body because the top half would make a cool 40's style custom? *NM*
- I've never even heard of that movie, when did it come out?? *NM*
- Came out in 1997.... If like Sci-Fi (comedy) it's a must see and when the concert starts you have to turn up the sound to listen to Diva Plavalaguna. Love that part *NM*
- Don't forget your Multi-pass LOL *NM*
- Frank, are you an opera buff?? *NM*
- When riding with Frank you get to listen to such musical "gems" as Barbie Girl and Baby Got Back.... So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, NO!!! LOL *NM*
- CLASSICS! *NM*
- You wouldn't ride with me, either, Marty, cause on the way (and back) to Dekalb, Wheaton, or Cedarville, "Enigma" and "Colors in Motion"! L.O.L. *NM*
- He might prefer to ride with me, cause these days I'm stuck on Clapton. *NM*
- Had a friend from Cali that built a lot of 1:1 street rods, he always played Leon Redbone when he was building. *NM*
- Haven't heard 'Colors In Motion,' have to check them out. Have you heard any of 'Future Sound of London'? *NM* *LINK*

- Question about scratch building headers and exhaust systems from solder…,,
- In 1/25 scale 1 millimeter is about equal to one inch. So anywhere from 1.5mm to 3mm would be the size. *NM*
- Try to get solid core. If you can't then what I do is drill out the resin core as much as I can. *NM*
- Aluminum wire used for beading and jewelry making is an option. It comes in a variety of diameter or gages. It lighter than solder and no core to be concerned about. *NM*
- Have you considered aluminum wire used for beading and jewelry as an option?. It comes in a variety of diameter or gages. It lighter than solder and no core to be concerned about. *NM*
- I've not seen it in a diameter large enough for this application. Where did you see it, please? *NM*
- RR... Here is my attempt at homemade solder headers. PIX and hope this helps
- Use solid solder. The rosin (core) will leak out eventually making quite a mess. *NM*
- 1/16" would be good for 1.5" pipes, 3/32" would be close for 2 3/8" pipes, 1/8" would be about 3 1/8". You probably won't find any other 'tween sizes. Even 3/32" could be tough to find. *NM*
- Thanks for the help guys, I think I found the aluminum wire on Amazon :) *NM*
- Off the bench......PICS...... *LINK*
- Off the chart nice!! *NM*
- Very nice David. *NM*
- Great build sir! *NM*
- Nice work, David. Turned out great!
- That is SOOOO nice! Thank you for getting this done and showing us how it looks. I’m pretty excited about this one now!!! *NM*
- Dave outstanding build. I have the earlier version Charger and after seeing yours I will have to dig it out and build it now. Just another project... *NM*
- Sweet build love the color! *NM*
- Very nice and very cleanly done. That color gives me ideas for another project. *NM*
- That is SOOOO nice! Thank you for getting this done and showing us how it looks. I’m pretty excited about this one now!!! *NM*
- Nice build, glad to hear it went together so well *NM*
- I'm not into these, David, but good modeling is good modeling, and this is a really sweet, clean build. *NM*
- Nice kit, and nice build. Thanks for sharing! *NM*
- Re:Good looking build,i really like them in indigo blue *NM*
- Nice touch! *NM*
- The next project
- I can't believe that's never been kitted in 1/24th! *NM*
- I vote for the steel cab version.....for whatever that's worth!! *NM*
- There was a European-made resin kit of a WWII Deuce-and-a-Half in 1:24, but I don't recall what style cab it may have had. *NM*
- I built one of the 1/24 resin Wespe kits many years ago when it wasn't expensive (PICS)
- Can't wait! (to see the progress). *NM*
- I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times before, how do you remove decals without screwing up a paint job? Thanks. *NM*
- Sometimes, on older builds, you can put a piece of "scotch" tape over the decal and pull to lift off decal. My 2¢ *NM*
- Like Rich said.... First thing I'd do is to get some scotch tape . *NM*
- You won't probably. There is always a leftover flat image of where they were. But if you need to try, I'd do it with some Solvaset to soften them up as best you can. *NM*
- I GUESS DONE.... PIX and thanks for looking
- She sure is pretty. Is that a factory color? *NM*
- I love it!! *NM*
- That's so cool, and the color is very close to the AMT metallic green that was available in '62! (I have an original '62 Impala ragtop I painted that color still in my collection.) *NM*
- One other thing, Frank. I have the stock wheels (hubcaps) for that Mercury if you want them just reply to my post. Mike Thacker, aka Zeke *NM*
- Oooh, I like that Merc Frank, '62 ragtop, sweet build! *NM*
- Re:Looking good *NM*
- That's one we don't often see. Nice job. *NM*
- Thanks for sharing. That is one sweet build. *NM*
- I would say so Frank! *NM*
- I have a can of Testors Dark Bronze Met. How close is it to Turbine Car bronze? *NM*
- Well, this might be of interest to you !! *NM* *LINK*
- There is a NASCAR 73-74 and a 76 S-3 but no showroom stock.......
- Another old build from around the mid 90's...
- 48 Days remaining before the MCMA 2023 Showdown. March 25th at the Children's Health Arena in Farmers Branch. Check out themcma.net for all the info to the show. We would love to have any and all of you that are in the area come and join in the fun. *NM*
- Re: Which kit are the wheels from - Fujimi Ferrari 250 GTO⁹ *NM*
- I use both sites I mentioned. My preferred site, when it was free, was Flickr. Thus far I haven't had to pay for image storage as long as it lasts. *NM*
- Straight cash money - check fit with chassis when you get a minute, but that is just sweet *NM*
- I would rather see the bottom of the model when it comes down to awards, we will handle the model unless you forbid it. very carefuly and with gloves.You would be amazed at what you find underneath.Bad workmanship and missing parts abound in the dark.when you compete...
- I meant to add that I am looking for Toad and Debbie figures to display with the car. . . . . .
- Pulled the trigger *PIC*
- Bitchen ride!... Knowing the dealership sales ropes really helps at purchase time, doesn't it. *NM*
- Congratulations! That's some sharp negotiating. But your old car, with $700 in repairs, plus another $5000 recommended, plus cat. conv. going, at only 94K miles, would discourage me from buying another Buick. *NM*
- I'm thinking the only thing his old car and his new car share is the Buick emblem. So I wouldn't connect the two. That's just me. *NM*
- Those seats have a separate cushion that goes on the back. *NM* *PIC*
- I've heard that complaint from more than one, but today, AFAIK, he sells through a local hobby shop exclusively and they only sell what he has produced. No pre-orders. I won't post them here in difference to the Spotlight owners.
- That's a nice job, you can fit the AMT stock car chassis under it as well, the wheelbase is a perfect match.. *NM*
- These ones? *NM* *LINK* *PIC*
- Garlits (Museum) has one just like that except it has a Hemi and it was an FBI car. Imagine that, how rare of a car that is. Thanks TB *NM*
- The original street outlaws! *NM* *LINK*
